Internet race inside

UPDATE: We never got a chance to race and we never will, he traded his car for a ford focus.

My friend keeps talking trash since he got his back from the shop. Hes got a 88 5.0 and before he had a 302 and i smoked him all day long in my 06 stg 2 wrx. Well he got some work done: 302 bored to a 306, keith black pistons, new bearings and rods, full exhaust, headers, X pipe, mild cam.

I rode in it a few days ago and it reall didnt feel like much changed. He keeps telling me hes gonna pwn me and a friend of mine who drives a Z06. He thinks hes pushing over 300RWHP. I still dont think he can beat me and I know for sure he wont take the vette either. So what do you guys think?

Theres no chance of touching the Z06 but the race between stg 2 wrx and the mustang might be good from a roll, IDK. you would still leave him on a dig thats just IMO. Race him at the track and see whats up.

He only thinks he is pushing over 300 RWHP? He did that work and didnt throw it onto a dyno? That doesn't make too much sense to me although I might be a moron.

Depends on heads, intake mani and cam. I've watched my friends old 5.0 with 306 and the competition Holley systemax kit do some damage. It'd be a game of traction.

If his heads are stock, he has no chance.

When we did the 347 stroker, he kept the holley heads but had larger valves fitted. Then the thing was a monster. Definitely no traction with out street radials, and even then it wasn't very good. We did race a built SC'd 03 Z06 (IIRC he was 600ish HP) and were neck and neck until he grabbed traction top of 3rd.

His heads are stock thats why im thinkin i can beat him again. So you think its a for sure thing? He wants to put a 100 on it lol.

Depends how long he wants too race for. Anything longer than the 1320, he'll catch up (higher avg power), and don't frumaroll. Stop light to stop light hes gonna loose being that traction is a factor. Your 60 ft is around 1.7-1.9 his 60 ft probably in the 2.2+ range.

A warmed over 306 sees about 250-310CHP on avg with those mods that I've seen. Remember the 5.0l GT only came with 220CHP stock. I know of a 95 5.0l with heads, cam, intake, FP, injectors,protune only puttin down 340whp. Heads make a huge difference on the 5.0l, so does the intake mani. I highly doubt hes at 300rwhp without them. Search his car for a bottle though .
